You might have PSU power problem or overheating problem.
Check that you have at least 500-600 Wat PSU and all cables are connected correctly. Check that the fan on your card is spinning. |

Tell me about it, I remember the days I just took components of my Mobo with my bare hands to give the case a inside clean up.
nowadays you'll have to wear these anti-static gloves and you better don't give any components a odd look as he might fry itself and video cards are the drama queens of todays computers...a minor mistake can cost you a lot of $$$ HunterICX
